Definitions
- the present invention relates to a means for navigating data and in particular to a computer-implemented graphical means for navigating a collection of data such as a database.
- the invention provides a means for a user to:
- a) explore or drill down through a database without needing to enter a text-based keyword search; and b) navigate a database using a graphical interface that presents structured options to users rather than relying on user knowledge to direct the navigation process.
- the invention has been developed primarily for use as a new or improved graphical means for exploring a comprehensive hierarchical music library, and has been designed for use by consumers and in business such as by hospitality, retail and other commercial providers where the playing of selected music is desirable. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not restricted this particular field of use.
- the present invention provides a new or alternative computer-implemented system, method and apparatus for consumers or business to navigate data without the need to rely solely on key word searching of the data.
- a computer-implemented method for navigating a data collection such as a collection of digitised music files including the steps of:
- a computer-implemented appaaratus for navigating a data collection such as a collection of digitised music files

- object includes:
- a texture for example, a gritty surface or a silky finish
- a taste such as a bitter taste or a taste associated with a particular cheese or wine
- the invention is a new or useful alternative to a traditional catalogue and to a traditional search engine, both of which suffer the disadvantage of requiring at least minimal user knowledge of the subject area to get meaningful data out of a comprehensive data collection. Further the present invention presents relationships to a user, which enables the invention to be used as a teaching aid or educational tool.
- the invention is applied to a music collection.
- Alternative embodiments include collections of images (still and moving), collections of artwork, and collections of stories, or any other reference collection.
- the invention is particularly suited to data that can be categorised into major groups and then sorted according to time. Examples include:
- the invention enables a user's selection to be made by using a navigation tool (e.g. a graphic representation of tool such as a dial, wheel or slider) to:
- a navigation tool e.g. a graphic representation of tool such as a dial, wheel or slider
- the invention has been developed primarily for use as a system, method and device for accessing a music collection; however, it should be appreciated by those skilled within the art that the invention is not restricted to this particular field of use.
- the invention can be applied to any of the arts such as painting, photography, video, film, poetry, books, and other arts (or catalogues of such subject matter) that are able to be communicated over a networked computer or radio broadcast system.
- An exemplary preferred embodiment a navigation tool
- the invention is a tool for navigating or exploring a digitised music content database.
- the navigation tool illustrated schematically in Figure 1 enables a user to select (and browse) a first tier of data.
- This tier includes broad groups of data. In the music database example, this equates to broad genres of music such as "classical”, “jazz", “rock”.
- the user only needs to have very basic knowledge of music styles to enter the database (that is to gain access to the database) and to navigate between these broad categories in a first tier.
- the preferred embodiment provides a series of graphical representations displayed on a computer screen (or other digital display means such as a digital panel), which are enabled to be manipulated by a user.
- a user is enabled to browse broad groups of data within a data collection.
- the data collection is depicted on a computer screen or other display means as a wheel 20 that is segmented into groups of data (labelled 30).
- the data collection in the preferred embodiment could as easily be depicted using a slider, button, dial or other graphical representation.
- a user navigates from one data group 30 to another within the data collection (such as a database) by turning the navigation tool 10 around the wheel 20 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
- the user makes a selection by turning the navigational tool 10 until the desired data group 30 meets the selection indicator 50.
- each data group 30 is a different genre of music.
- the user's choice is locked in by pressing a locking means, such as a button 40 in the centre of the wheel 20, when the desired data group 30 (say the genre "jazz") is adjacent to the selection indicator 50.
- the user is then enabled to navigate a second tier of data in the data collection.
- the graphical representations presented to the user change to reflect the shift from one tier of data to another.
- the wheel 20 represents an epoch of time - say, the twentieth century.
- the user employs similar techniques for making a selection of data in a second tier as for making a selection of data in a first tier; namely, the user rotates the navigation tool 10 around the wheel 20 until the desired data group is adjacent to a selection indicator 50.
- the difference now is that two selection indicators 50 are present, enabling a user to select a range of data within a data group 30.
- each data group 30 in Figure 2 represents a different time period.
- the user selects a time period by moving a first selection indicator 50 to a starting point in time and a second selection indicator 50 to a finishing point in time.
- the years 1951 to 1959 are chosen.
- the user has navigated the music database to find "jazz" from the period "1951" to "1959”.
- the user locks in his or her selection of a time period by pressing the central button 40. This step then enables a user to be presented with a further tier of data.
- the user is enabled to further narrow the search of the data collection without typing in key words - it is this and deeper levels of searching that are often not available to ordinary consumers with limited knowledge of the subject area.
- the navigation tool 10 is similar to the navigation tool depicted in Figure 1.
- the wheel 20 represents the genre of music earlier selected by the user. So while “jazz” represented a single segment of the wheel 20 in Figure 1, the entire wheel 20 in Figure 2 now represents the genre “jazz”.
- Each segment 30 is a different microgenre such as "swing”, “free”, “cool”, “dixieland” and so on.
- the data groups (microgenres) presented to the user are determined by the user's earlier selections. For example, if our user's earlier choices had been "jazz" between "1930 and 1940", the microgenre selection would not include “free” jazz because there was no free jazz in the 1940s.
- a user is presented with further navigation tools to drill down more deeply into the data collection; examples of these tools are shown schematically in Figure 4.
- FIG. 1 A user is presented with further navigation tools to drill down more deeply into the data collection; examples of these tools are shown schematically in Figure 4.
- FIG. 1 A user is presented with further navigation tools to drill down more deeply into the data collection; examples of these tools are shown schematically in Figure 4.
- FIG. 1 A user is presented with further navigation tools to drill down more deeply into the data collection; examples of these tools are shown schematically in Figure 4.
- an “instruments” selection scale 70 is shown schematically in Figure 4.
- the user can use the scale 70 to select between, for example:
- the Users can also make a selection according to the geographical source (location) of the music (not illustrated).
- the graphical representation of the selection tool in this case might be a map or other icon to represent location.
- One advantage of the preferred embodiment as described above is that it provides a user with a means for a user to explore a data collection within broad parameters, without overwhelming the user with long lists of choices or requiring the user to type in key words (which requires some knowledge of the subject area).
- the preferred embodiment is a useful educational tool for exploring musical genres.
- the significance of the preferred embodiment as an educational tool is perhaps better appreciated with school lodge or alternative genres or narrow microgenres of music, which a user might never otherwise be exposed to if searching using key word searches.
- the preferred embodiment provides a means for a user to browse from category to category in at least a first tier of data, and to progressively narrow the data category with each tier of data added to the exploration path.
- the user need not have any knowledge of different music styles.
- the preferred embodiment provides an educational tool for a user to explore relationships between data (different styles of music) without the need for any knowledge of the subject area.
- the present invention also provides consumer access to a comprehensive music collection, which is a collection of digital music files such as a music database. Each file is indexed (tagged, metatagged) in a manner that enables users to:
- the database includes around 25 main genres of music, which are subdivided into a further 700 micro-genres.
- Each music track is identified by approximately 16 metadata tags, including composer, artist and title.
- the navigational tool utilises metadata tags and combination of tags to categorise music tracks and to enable browsing, sorting and selection of music by users.
- the data collection is collated from material obtained from the copyright owner or with the copyright owner's authority, eliminating contamination by incomplete or poor quality recordings or tracks.
- the database is continuously updated, resulting in access to an ever increasing collection of music.
- the advantage of providing a music collection in the preferred embodiment is that currently, the majority of ordinary consumers choose music by their acquired musical taste and experience (what they have heard before, artists they know), word of mouth recommendation, music reviews, what they are exposed to through the media (popular music) and simply by asking when they hear music they like (e.g. in a club, at an event or in a music store). This is time consuming and limiting because consumers need to acquire knowledge in order to broaden their collection of music. For business, it also represents a significant investment of time and other resources.
- the data content player means of the present invention delivers the desired data (as selected by the user) from a data collection to the user.
- the music content database of the present invention interacts with data streaming technology, to deliver the selected music to the user.
- the music is delivered to the user using streaming technology, which can be accessed using any protocol that can deliver streamed files over the internet. Music is streamed to overcome the problem of delay that occurs when music is downloaded and to minimise computing resources required to operate the invention.
- the user interface of the present invention works across all Internet protocols such as TCP/IP, file transfer means such as FTP, radio transmissions and mobile phone applications, and is not limited to any specific protocol. This enables users to access the invention from a number of locations, and does not limit them to using the invention in one particular location, or to 'carting around' apparatus in order to access their music collection from different locations.
- the inventive system and method includes tracking software that tracks a user's individual musical preferences. This enables the system to deliver to the user increased choices that match the user's individual musical taste. Therefore, if the user commonly searches for "cool jazz", the system will actively deliver more titles in this genre to the user than, say, to a user who only listens to "rock” and "1970s".
- the present invention has unlimited scalability, enabling it to be used by individuals or by collections of individuals across the globe.
- Method for navigating a data collection
- the present invention enables a user to select music by genre (or to drill down to select by sub-genre, including by epochs).
- the user's selections are made through a user interface that enables querying of a comprehensive music database, without relying on sophisticated music knowledge.
- the inventive system and apparatus deliver music that fits the user's selection criteria.
- the music is delivered to the user using streaming technology. Therefore, the present invention is not confined to use in a single location.
- the preferred embodiment provides a means for a user to select music from a music database, including the steps of:
- (a) selecting a genre the user uses the navigation tool of the preferred embodiment (depicted schematically in Figure 1) to select a genre, e.g. Blues, jazz, Rock, Country, etc.
- the user selects the genre by rotating the wheel until it reaches the user's selection (in this example, the selected genre is "jazz").
- the wheel spins in response to mouse movements or to key input.
- the view expands (becomes magnified) to enable the user to read the text before locking in the selection.
- (b) selecting a period in time the wheel shown in Figure 2 is the timeline selection tool. Once a genre is selected, the wheel represents the time range of tracks in that genre. Years in that range are shown when the wheel is moved. A user rotates the wheel to select an appropriate start date and finish date (e.g. from 1960 to 1969). When the user has selected the desired time range, he or she locks in the selection and a song corresponding to the point chosen in the chronology plays. Users have taken two steps to reach this point: selecting a genre and then selecting a time period (epoch).
- selecting a micro-genre the preferred embodiment enables users to select a micro- genre (e.g. "cool jazz”) to drill down to a narrower range or more specific style of music.
- users can select "all” at this point. If they select "all”, the preferred embodiment will play a random selection of 1960s jazz. If they select "avant-garde” the preferred embodiment will only play that style of 1960s jazz (assuming that the 1960s is still the selected time period).
- the player interacts with the database in a unique way due to the architecture of the database. Users are drawn into a "push-pull" streaming model where they make a limited number of choices in order to access a comprehensive range of self-selecting tracks from the database.
- a genre of music in this case "jazz”
- a time period say the 1960s
- a user can use the dial (or a button, slider or other graphical representation - a dial is used for ease of description and may be substituted for any other graphical representation) to select the desired micro-genre. Again, when the user hones in to make a choice, the text is magnified or expands for ease of use.
- the preferred embodiment also includes a graphic representation (e.g. a map) of selection tools for users to further refine the selection of music. Examples include instruments, vocals, emotive "flavour" or speed of the track, as well as geographic origin. For example, users may select music from "Memphis" or "Detroit". Selecting either of these locations for a micro-genre of "soul", for example, at a particular period of time can provide the listener with a very different and uniquely particular feel of, say, soul music.
- This track selection display can be used to reveal the previous tracks played, sorted by artist name, playing order or some other selection criteria. It can also be used to display tracks scheduled to be played.
- the user may:
- the present invention provides a data compilation means (in this example, a means for automatically compiling a number of musical tracks), which utilises the track metadata to determine the order of tracks in each listening session.
- a data compilation means in this example, a means for automatically compiling a number of musical tracks
- Each track has a significant amount of metadata associated with it, including: (a) information readily available from the record company database, including the name of the artist, track title, composer, and record company; and
- (b) additional information such as genre and micro-genre, period of release, location of release, and other details.
- additional information such as genre and micro-genre, period of release, location of release, and other details.
- the same title may be included in the music content database of the preferred embodiment a number of times, each time indexed according to a different date of re-recording, such as 1961, 1962 and 1971, resulting in different music styles within a single sub-genre.
- Additional pieces of information indexed against a track include the style of music, band size (e.g. trio, quartet), where the band hails from (e.g. America, Boston; or Australia, Sydney) and various other pieces of information.
- band size e.g. trio, quartet
- band hails from e.g. America, Boston; or Australia, Sydney
- various other pieces of information e.g. America, Boston; or Australia, Sydney
- the preferred embodiment provides a system, method and apparatus for like tracks to be linked, using detailed track metadata.
- the inventive music content player system is set up to play tracks that fall within the criteria chosen by the user. For example, once a user has made the relevant choices (e.g. "jazz" from “1963 to 1963” then “cool jazz", from “USA"), the preferred embodiment will find all tracks within the music content database that meet these criteria. The track with the closest match of metadata to the current track playing will be played next; however, if there are two or more tracks with an equally close match then the next track chosen will be:
- the preferred embodiment provides a means to automatically create a track compilation to meet a user's music choices.
- the user does not need to select the order of tracks or to arrange tracks in a particular order.
- the preferred embodiment enables the order of tracks to be randomly allocated, or to be determined according to the degree of match between metadata. This involves a comparison of the metadata for any number of tracks, and a "scoring" of tracks according to a common metadata set. For example, say there are 17 individual metadata associated with any given track that comes up within a user's selection of "jazz" from "1963” then "cool jazz", from "USA”.
- the tracks with the largest number of matching metadata will be given the highest "score”. This results in these tracks being given a higher priority for play - in other words, these tracks will be played in close sequence to each other, in descending order of their score.
- the scores can be underlined or superimposed with business rules, which determine the priority of identical tracks with the same "score” and also allow for play of, say, one instrumental track followed by two vocals or other similar rulings.
- business rules determine the priority of identical tracks with the same "score” and also allow for play of, say, one instrumental track followed by two vocals or other similar rulings.
- an overall style is selected such as "jazz” and "1960 to 1969” then the preferred embodimens plays everything that fits in such broad criteria except when underlying rules are chosen.
- the preferred embodiment also enables a user to build his or her own music compilations, by the user setting the priority of play or determining business rules according to their own listening preferences (e.g. no more than three vocals in a row).
- An alternative embodiment of the present invention enables database selections of other art forms such as paintings, photography, video, film, poetry, books, and other arts that are able to be communicated over a networked computer or radio broadcast system. Means to promote new artists and art forms
- the preferred embodiment provides a new or alternative means to promote new artists through the inclusion of new releases in the music content database, such as new jazz tracks that have been pressed in, say, Sydney in the last month.
- the system interacts with a website or other media to co-promote new tracks to users who want the "gig" live. Promotion of the venue or other advertising is also enabled as shown in Figures 1 and 2 in the caption “branding”. Therefore, a micro-genre can be selected by "new release” instead of time.
- An embodiment of the invention can deliver music video, including clippage of the artist(s) performing live, independent music video and so on.
- the artist is enabled to provide their own visual displays to coincide with the music tracks that they provide, so an artist is not restricted to providing an art form only within the one medium such as music, but may, alternatively provide a music video, for example, for the launch of an album or track.
- a data distribution gateway A data distribution gateway
- the preferred embodiment provides a data distribution gateway for data such as music, and is particularly useful for independent or "off-label" recordings.
- a party such as an independent record company in Poland, say, can increase its distribution of records through a gateway into the music content database of the present invention.
- the gateway requires detailed metadata to be provided by the record company with every music track, prior to the music going "live” (that is, being accessible to users) on the database. This is to ensure the integrity of the database and of the system, since the ability to access tracks and to build compilations depends on the quality of the metadata.
- the preferred embodiment In contrast to the retrospective selection of genre, the preferred embodiment also enables current releases of music to be compared with previous genres, to give an indication of current and future music directions, by location or other criteria. For example, in the early 1970s the punk movement evolved with strong undercurrents to influence music and socionomic direction.
- the preferred embodiment provides a "channel" or medium for any chosen music genre, including, if desired, a new release channel specifically, for example, for Australian jazz, blues or country music. This can be further broken down to locally-based jazz, so the user can select music available tonight in the various venues around Sydney. This promotes momentum to get people to attend and also allows the monitoring of sub- genre activity and momentum in the arena.
- music is considered a good indicator of collective social mood.
- Collective mood changes in the market affect indexes such as share market indexes.
- the preferred embodiment provides an indicator of market mood because it enables tracking of music trends over time and correlations to be drawn with other indicators, such as share market activity or real property prices. No known music library or other database can perform this function. This is particularly important where world economics is currently changing in the sense that Australia may no longer be linked to the USA and therefore there may be stronger and more divergent music trends evolving. Consequently, the preferred embodiment is a useful data collection, comparison and forecast means.
